Showing Appreciation—ESFJ

In this series I’m delving into how each of the 16 types approaches being thankful. If you want to read a little about your own preferences ahead of time, feel free to visit this link: share.themyersbriggs.com/.

Today’s type: ESFJ.

You tend to show appreciation for others through honoring traditions and celebrating. Remember, others may prefer a more casual approach.

That description is about the outwardly gregarious approach to celebrating with others often displayed by individuals who prefer ESFJ. It is also about their need to honor the traditions of the special events. If your preferences are ESFJ, this approach may sometimes lead you to over planning events so they run like they are “supposed to” and then getting agitated when things don’t go as planned. Further, it might make the other people involved feel like they can’t just sit back, relax, and just do nothing if that’s what they want to do.
